Interest Group (closed)

In a Nutshell

The QA Interest Group was the main body of the Quality Assurance activity at W3C, with a rather broad focus ranging from helping create better W3C technologies to education and outreach about proper use of the Web, as well as tools development.

About the Quality Assurance Interest Group at W3C

The main objective of the QA Interest Group (QAIG) is to
have W3C, its Membership and the Web community involved in QA at large share
their understanding of the work of the W3C QA
Activity, in particular the Activity's relationship with external
organizations; issues with Web certification and branding; its educational
effort; its funding model; etc. The QAIG also represents the interests of
software developers attempting to implement conformant products, notably
those developers who did not participate in writing the applicable W3C
Recommendations.

More information is available on the
scope of this group's activities.

Deliverables

Unfinished work

These following projects were on-going work in need of people to work on. If you are interested to picking up some of this work, welcome to participate. Pplease send an email to www-qa@w3.org.

A survey is in preparation for polling teachers on their standard teaching practices.

The QA Library

The QA Activity hosts a comprehensive set of technical documentation
aimed at Web developers, Web authors and corporate managers: the QA Library. These documents were usually
authored by the W3C QA staff after discussion within the mailing-lists of the
QA Interest Group.

Development : the QA Development effort

The QA Toolsdevelopment effort (or, in short, "qa-dev") is one of the projects launched by the QA activity at W3C in order to reach its goal of better implementations of W3C technologies.

qa-dev is animated by volunteer developers working on Web quality tools such as validators and test tools, and QAIG participants with an interest in tools development are welcome to help or participate in this effort.
